This might be possible, but I don't know how to debug this as
nothing of it happens on my machine (playing a lot song from
harddisc, right now for 6 hours continiously).
My suggestion is that somebody with that problem, please wait
until vdr hangs with 100% cpu and then hook gdb to this process
to see which thread it is and where it hangs.
I'm sorry, but I'm currently rather busy with other stuff, so
that I cannot spent time on this myself. I'm be back on this in a
week or two...
Regards.
